The urban and social center of Cordoba extends today
around Plaza de las Tendillas. Its wide esplanade, the equestrian statue, the fountain and the emblematic buildings that surround this square constitute the heart of the city. The
Mercado Victoria and the long strip of gardens in which this market is located are other places not to miss in the 'modern' Cordoba.
